I ending up buying a 2008 ES350 with XM. My dealer said they only mount the antenna in the rear package shelf. Works fine once the single got activated. Quite a pain to get that done. The salesman said he has a lot of trouble with XM activations.
Unfortunately we've had a lot of snow in Cleveland and I won't drive the new car in that so its seen a lot of garage time. Maybe tomorrow I'll take it out.
Love it so far.

Just a quick question. Does the rear seat fold down or is it just a pass thru like the TL? Thanks

The rear seat in the ES350 just has a pass thru. All model ES's from the 1992 until the present did not have fold down rear seats.

TRAC Traction Control

Is there a button to disable the traction control system on the ES 350? Most cars have a button to turn it on/off. I literally can't get up my snowy driveway with TRAC on. Once the wheels slip the engine cuts back and I stop going forward.

I know what you mean. I've had my ES about three weeks. I noticed it the other night. When cold, it had a rough sound, almost like an old diesel engine. My noise goes away very quickly once the engine gets a little warm. Does yours also get quiet pretty soon?

we drive about 10 minutes to work each way and the noise goes away right when we get there...makes a good car seem "cheap"....what do you think?

We have a 2008 es350 with the Ultra pkg and ML audio. The dealer installed the Sirius. We are having reception problems that have gradually gotten worse. It now takes 5-10 minutes of drving before we can get satellite signal. Anyone else having this problem? We have the inside windshield antenna. I even had special window tint used that was non metallic to ensure no interference with satellite or GPS.

I have XM radio with the inside rear window antenna; little black box by the high level brake light. For me it works fine. The rear window is so big maybe it gives better access to the signal. It even receives the signal before I back out of the garage in the morning.

I find it disappointing considering how quiet a Lexus is supposed to be. I think mine warms up faster than 10 minutes. After about 2 minutes I either forget about it or it has gone away. Once that noise is gone, I think the car is really quiet. I do wish it had about one inch more headroom though.
